Root & Bone

“My wife and I celebrated our 28th anniversary at Root & Bone, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely unbelievable—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The service was outstanding, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and made our special occasion feel even more memorable. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for an anniversary dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Highly recommend Root & Bone for anyone looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a great dining experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🍽️🥂❤️”

“Had such a wonderful experience! The food was made with love! Came for a solo dining experience and loved every minute the attendants were friendly, welcoming and worked as a team! Gave great recommendations! Had the asparagus citrus salad perfect mix of sweet-and-sour, followed by the sirloin steak it was delicious And the presentation was gorgeous and had the cheesecake!! Will definitely be back and thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!!”

“Visited Root & Bone while in Fonthill. The atmosphere is upscale yet cozy, with an open-concept kitchen that adds to the overall experience. My first visit here was when they were recognized on the OpenTable Top 100, and it’s easy to see why. Chef Raymond Taylor focuses on a farm-to-table approach, and it shows in both the quality of the ingredients and the beautiful presentation of each dish. The food has consistently been well executed, and the service has always been good, making for a reliable dining experience. Overall, a polished local spot delivering quality food and a great atmosphere — definitely worth a visit. Saluti.”

“This will be a long written review, which I have never done in any previous reviews. My wife and I dined on Oct 18 celebrating our 22nd anniversary. No gifts this year but decided to go all out for our dinner as our gift to each other. I was in charge of finding somewhere. I’ve followed reviews over the last few months and decided Root and Bone is the place. Both my wife and I have a very open minded pallet and we owned our own restaurant. So we have some street credit 😉 Online Reservation- easy to book and received text before hand (which I had to hide from the wife ) Atmosphere - it is a smaller venue but even during a busy Saturday night did not feel cramped up. Everything was spotless clean and I mean clean. It’s the first thing I noticed. Food- this was the absolute star. I spoke to someone and said it was the first time I felt like I wasn’t going out for dinner but having an actual experience with food. I cannot stress the level of skills required to pull off mine and my wife’s meal. Honestly this is Michelin rated food. From pork belly to lamb loin and everything else we ate was made with love and a level of cooking that will have me talking about this experience for years. Service- Emilia our guide to the evening of joyous proportion was awesome. Great smile and gave us a few pointers as this was our first experience. By the way. Say yes to her espresso martini. In my wife’s words. “Oh my god where has this been all my life “ yep that good. Also the mise en place, dishwashers (every plate, utensil and glass was spotless) and everyone that made the dining experience so memorable deserves a shout out. Price - We did a fixed menu. Lots to choose from. I can’t stress enough that you are not going out to dinner here. You are having a culinary experience like no other. So close your eyes to the bill and enjoy! Thanks again Root and Bone. Much ❤️”

“We visited Root and Bone for the first time on our anniversary, and it turned out to be a great experience. The restaurant has a calm, intimate atmosphere; quiet enough to talk comfortably while still feeling lively. Their four-course menu is about $118, with small surcharges for certain options, and it’s absolutely worth it. You choose your courses from the start, and while they offer à la carte, most people go with the full menu. They also have seating right by the chef’s station, which looks like a fun experience for next time. The food was excellent across the board. I had the beef tenderloin special, and my wife ordered the beef Wellington. Both were outstanding. She also had the octopus, which is notoriously hard to get right, but they nailed it. It was charred beautifully, not rubbery, and full of flavour. They have bottle-recorking free of charge. Our server, Kate, was fantastic from start to finish, and the chef personally presented our main course, which was a nice touch. There was a small hiccup, out of their control, but it was handled quickly and professionally. Overall, the night was memorable, the kitchen is impressive, and the whole place has a warm, welcoming feel. We’ll definitely go back.”
